Relay for Life of Second Life Kicks Off March 12



RFL of SL kicks off on March 12!

Relay For Life of Second Life (RFL of SL) is all set to KICK OFF on March 12!


For the past few weeks, the Teams Chairs Panza Eilde and PrettyKitty Gumbo have been working with a team of mentors and liaisons to recruit, register and train the team captains and help them to start planning events ... over 80 teams have registered to date, and now they’re ready to KICK OFF!

Virtual Hajj

With all the frightening stuff going on the Middle East these days, one can look at the news and forget that those people are kind of cool, too.

One of the Five Pillars of Islam involves making a Hajj to the holy city of Mecca. Thanks to an amazing new sim at OnIslam, you can actually make the hajj yourself.

It is very meticulously designed, and they seem to have made an effort to cover all the bases. You are immediately struck by how beautiful the place is. It is also very busy, and there is lots to do... even immediately upon arrival.

Not only does Mecca look authentic, but they have the little things down. There is a tour bus where you land. They have water set up for thirsty travellers (Mecca is in a harsh part of Saudi Arabia). They really made great efforts here, and it shows.

They have plenty of information about the sim and about Islam in general. You can get a virtual Koran, or read the 10 foot one they have on the premises. I actually got a good picture of it, but I used me instead. How often will you see me in an Abaya?

An Abaya is the clothing you wear when making the Pilgrim trip. It actually looks very Plymouth Pilgrim-like. I met some of the people who help out at the sim, and they hooked me up with the Abaya shown in the photo.

By the way... in case you feel you are going to show up there and have someone burn your flag or call you an infidel dog... it han't happened to me yet. Everyone has been nice and helpful, eager to provide information.

Note... while I am not fit to make blanket statements on behalf of Allah or anything like that, I would say that a virtual Hajj to a virtual Mecca doesn't actually count as one of the Five Pillars Of Islam. You still have to go IRL. This is more of an educational experience, and it is a fine one.

SL ARTS & LITERATURE: Review - Dramatiques Troupe Tours “Narnia” Production


Preparation is everything.  Especially when performing in Second Life.  Because performing in SL can be just as nerve-wracking as performing in the corporeal world.  Timing is still everything, as is paying attention to your audience – an audience who may not even be in your same time zone!  It is easy to look at something like a virtual dance performance and say that it is just so much hopping on poseballs. Yes, technically it is.  But hopping on the correct poseball, at the correct moment, and hopefully wearing the correct thing.  In this the technology of the grid does not always aid your efforts.  In all respects, preparation, design, and execution, the current Narnia tour of Dramatiques Performance Troupe shows pride in, and attention to these details.

SL ARTS & LITERATURE: Ireland's Pirate Queen Comes to Second Life

Lingerie, Anyone? EDS Launch Party

On Friday, March 4, I was invited to the EDS Launch Party for their new line of lingerie, and being a person who hardly ever says no to a party invite, I went shopping for a sexy piece of lingerie and headed out to the party--making sure I had enough funds to buy me a few saucy pieces while there.

SL ARTS & LITERATURE: Another One Bites the Dust


While preparing  another feature, this notice came across my virtual desk from Jilly Kidd of Written Word announcing the closure of the London School of Journalism (LSJ) operations in Second Life :

“We're sorry to say the LSJ is leaving Second Life in mid-March. Do pop over to enjoy this lovely island in the final weeks and to enjoy what the LSJ has been doing here.

“We're grateful for the space the LSJ has provided for writers and for writing events . . .  The LSJ teaches writing in a variety of forms as well as journalism and has a great free contest on the website every month, so stay in touch.”


While no specific information is available, it is not hard to connect this closure with the recent change in the pricing structure that eliminates tier discounts for Education and Non-Profit land owners on the Second Life grid.

ArtFest for Flood Relief

ArtFest is a charity art competition to raise funds towards helping the recent flood victims in Australia, Brazil and Sri Lanka. Lives, homes and precious farmlands have been lost in every place, it will take many years to fully recover.

Need Some Fun in Your Life? Check Out Pando!

I'm always looking for something fun to do--not only for myself but also for my daughters and granddaughter and the myriads of friends who might stop by, bored, needing something to do.

Saturday afternoon, I had my mind set to go to this one particular place on the grid and ended up on Pando instead--and needless to say, I'm glad for that. There is SO much to do...and it was MORE than fun.

Let the fun begin

Things Virtual People Like



Sometimes, I wander around SL, ask the same random question of people, and then speak for every avatar in the game. I have the authority to do so, as I am the Sports And Leisure Editor and because I also have a picture of myself in front of the White House press conference thingy.

Monday, February 21, 2011

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington S.L.


Just a quick note to let you know that February 21st is President's Day!

Stop by the White House and wish the President a happy birthday, or whatever.

SL does have a White House, and whoever put it together put a lot of effort into it. Walk around the grounds, visit the Washington Monument, and do all that other DC stuff. Try to not make any sudden moves near the Secret Service.

Stacey knows George Washington from her time in Virginia.

TRAVEL & INSIDE SL - Churches in SL - Shon Charisma Reporting

Fort Augustus Abbey on Loch Ness
Link to Real-Life Abbey


I like to visit places. It's a big part of what I do in Second Life. Can't get to Paris in real life? Check it out in SL until you get there for real. Want to see the Statue of Liberty? Then take a TP to New York in SL, and in a matter of seconds you'll not only see the Statue of Liberty, but you'll also see the 911 Memorial. When I'm in the mood to have some peace and quiet, to think and not be disturbed, I often find myself searching beautifully crafted churches in SL for solace--and there are many of them--some where services are held and some where just for the beauty of the real life version, they are created in Second Life.

Barbie vs Malibu Stacey


Not a lot of people know that, in addition to my duties here at the SL Enquirer, I also am a well-known figure in the world of professional wrestling on SL.
I'm not actually that good... I'm the smallest white adult out of the 1000 girl wrestlers at Divas, and I win about 10% of my matches. This 10% goes up to 15-20% if I fight solely teens and Asians.
One way I supplement my income is by doing model work for wrestling magazines. It's not technically porn, although I do get stripped a lot. Like I said, I'm not really that tough.
For February's issue of Battling Girls, they had me fight Barbie. I'm not sure if it was a Barbie vs Malibu Stacey doll fight. I'm pretty sure that Malibu Stacey isn't 5 feet tall and French. Either way, this Barbie was my size, so I may actually win one.
Pick up a copy of Battling Girls (which also has a gang of other fights, including what I believe is the last fight of the late Susan B. Breen) at these fine locations.
***That picture isn't from the magazine... it's from another one of my fights, against Manda Aries. Guess which one I am?

RFL NEWS: Relay For Life is back in Second Life!



For immediate release

It’s February! And Relay For Life® of Second Life® is back for some more fun and fundraising!

Teams’ registration for the seventh annual Relay For Life of Second Life opens on February 14 in preparation for fundraising from March to July, culminating in a 24-hour walk around a virtual track.

MamaP Beerbaum, the RFL of SL 2011 Event Chair, said: ‘We’re ready to go! The 2011 committee has been busy working behind the scenes and we have an amazing group of passionate volunteers who are going to make this the most fun and successful Relay For Life that Second Life has seen.’

The revolution WILL be televised...or whatever you call SL

As-Salamu Alaykum!!!
If a revolution is happening somewhere, there must be equivalent hysteria in the SL version of that country, no?

Now, I'm the Sports Editor here, and usually don't cover events of great gravity and importance. For instance, the article I have lined up for Tuesday has me wrestling nude in it. However, I was the SL Reporter who was on when Mubarak stepped down in Egypt, so it fell to me to go to Virtual Cairo and sample the mood of the people.

Hey... most people in America learned of John Lennon's death from Howard Cosell, so eff you, hater!

Valentine Town Stacey Cardalines Reporting...



Sports fans are pretty much right at the top (trailing only bachelors and Alzheimers people) of the list for People Most Likely To Forget Or F*ck Up Valentine's Day Somehow.

Part of this is my fault. The ratio of Sports: Romance in this column is hopelessly lopsided, which is amazing when you consider that the author is married and speaks a Romance language.

However, we have you covered today. I'm writing this early, because you want to strike early with Valentine's Day. We'll handle where to take her in a future article, but today we are focused on Where To Shop For Her Beforehand.

Start off at Valentine Town, a shopping mall with a Valentine's Day theme. A very cute Bubble Pit serves as the fountain for this mall. It is surrounded by a wagon-train of stores that cover flowers, necklaces, chocolate, lingerie, cheap stuff and even gag gifts.

Even a total moron spouse should be able to gather up some sex-worthy Valentine's Day goods in one stop here. This frees him or her up to watch more Sports, and it was good.
By the way... it's the 14th, dummy. You're welcome.

TRAVEL & INSIDE SL - Pictures from Art Maze 2011 - Shon Charisma Reporting...



Last week, while traipsing through Second Life, I received a notice about Art Maze 2011. The notice mentioned evil clowns and well, I just couldn't pass that kind of notice up. I took the limo to Art Maze, and all I have to say is wow. Just the parts I meandered through made me feel like I was on a psychedelic trip of epic proportions. The colors, movements, images almost attacked the senses and definitely, at some points, had me on edge--especially the evil clowns. There was even one point where Ms. Charisma had to run...and run fast.
